Privacy Policy

Last updated November 10, 2026

Qwizmo is a set of MCAT study games. We collect as little as we can, we don't sell anything about you, and we don't show ads.

The short version

Without an account, your progress stays in your own browser. We don't receive it.
With an account, we keep your email address and your game progress so it follows you to other devices.
Online rooms share the name and avatar you pick with the other players in that room.
No ads, no selling data, no tracking cookies. Our visitor counts don't identify you.
You can delete your account from the account menu at any time, or email us.

What we collect

If you play as a guest

Your XP, Qwiz Coins, avatar, streak, settings, flagged questions and any Anki decks you import are saved in your browser only. We never receive them. Clearing your browser's data for this site erases them.

If you create an account

Your email address, so we can send your sign-in link. There's no password.
Your game progress: XP, level, Qwiz Coins, items you've bought, your avatar, the display name you choose, your daily goal and streak, a history of rewards you've earned, and which questions you've already seen (so you get new ones).
Sign-in records kept by our account provider, such as when you signed in and the IP address and browser used. These help keep accounts secure.

The first time you sign in, any guest progress in that browser is copied to your account.

If you play online

MCAT Showdown gives your browser a temporary anonymous sign-in. We store the nickname you type, the room you join, your answers and your score so the game can run and be scored fairly.
Balloon Pop online rooms send your chosen name, your avatar, your answers and what you type during your turn to the other players in the room as you play. These are passed along live and aren't saved in our database.

If you report a problem with a question

We save the question, the kind of problem you chose and anything you write. If you're signed in, the report is linked to your account so we can stop spam. Please don't include personal details in a report.

Visitor counts

We use Cloudflare Web Analytics to count page views and see which pages are used. It doesn't use cookies, doesn't build a profile of you, and doesn't follow you to other sites.

What we don't collect

No payment details, no contacts, no location, no microphone or camera. When you use Ask a Study Buddy to text a friend, the message goes through your own phone's share menu. We don't see it or who you sent it to.

How we use it

To run the games, save your progress and keep it in sync across your devices.
To send sign-in emails. We don't send newsletters or marketing.
To prevent cheating and abuse, for example daily limits on XP and coins.
To fix wrong or unclear questions you report.
To understand, in total numbers, which games people play, so we know what to improve.

We don't sell or rent your information, and we don't share it with advertisers. We use a few service providers to run Qwizmo, and they handle data only on our behalf:

Cloudflare hosts the website and provides the visitor counts.
Supabase stores accounts, progress, Showdown rooms and question reports, and runs the online rooms.
Our email provider delivers sign-in links.

These providers may process data in the United States or other countries. We'd also share information if the law required it, or to protect people from harm.

What's stored on your device

Qwizmo uses your browser's local storage, not tracking cookies, to save your progress and settings (theme, sound, daily goal) and, if you're signed in, to keep you signed in. Nothing here is used for advertising.

This signs you out on this device and clears saved progress and settings here. It doesn't delete your account. To do that, see below.

How long we keep it

Account data is kept until you delete your account.
Showdown room data is kept with the room and may be cleared out at any time once the room is finished.
Question reports are kept until we've dealt with them. If you delete your account, they're kept without any link to you.

Your choices and rights

Delete your account: sign in, tap your name in the top bar, then Delete my account. This permanently removes your email and all saved progress. You can also email us and we'll do it for you.
See or correct your data: email us and we'll send you a copy of what we have, or fix it.
Change your name: on the home page, open Me.

Depending on where you live (for example the EU, the UK or California), you may have legal rights to access, correct, delete or move your data, and to object to how it's used. Email us to use any of them and we'll respond within 30 days. You can also complain to your local data protection authority.

Age

Qwizmo is made for students preparing for the MCAT and is meant for people 16 and older. Please don't create an account if you're younger. If you think a child has given us information, email us and we'll delete it.

Changes to this policy

If we change this policy, we'll update the date at the top. If a change is significant, we'll also tell signed-in players on the site.
